I have been doing moveable gardens since 1990. Depending on the time
of year and availability, I can do astrology gardens for celebrations
and conferences. All the plants are in pots, so no damage is done
to the ground. I have a stock of plants - of small trees, herbs and
flowers.
There are many designs from quite large astrology gardens to smaller
ones. You can have your own birth chart on the ground or a joint birth
chart for couples in the shape of a chart wheel. I can design astrological
medicinal herb gardens using medieval chart form shapes. There are
many possibilities.
I can also help you design a permanent astrology garden.

Nakshatra
Garden (Moon’s Lunar Mansions), Astrological Association
Conference, 2005, York University
The design is of the 27 shrines of
the Vedic (Hindu) lunar mansions (Nakshatras), showing the Moon’s path on its monthly orbit
around the Earth. The Nakshatras were the 27 immortal daughters
of the Maker of the World, all of whom were married to the Moon
God, Chandra. He would visit his wives in turn, but became
too fond of his 4th wife, Rohini, making the other daughters upset. They
complained to their father who promised them that Chandra would
fall ill and die. Chandra then became sick and waned, but
the daughters began to feel sorry for him, so Chandra was healed
by the World Maker for some of the time only to fall ill again. This
is why the Moon waxes and wanes. (Source of myth: Mansions
of the Moon, by Kenneth Johnson). Each Nakshatra has a deity
assigned to it, a totem and a ‘gana’ and each ‘gana’ is
either divine, human or demonic. In this garden the themes
are multi-cultural and the world’s major religions are represented |
